Curtin’s Bachelor of Laws degree provides the first qualification you need to practise as a lawyer in Australia. By combining this with our Bachelor of Commerce degree and majoring in accounting, taxation, economics, finance, marketing or human resource management, you’ll add a business industry focus to your career.

Our law degree offers a rich and professionally relevant foundation in legal knowledge. You’ll learn core skills essential to effective legal practice and build a strong commercial awareness. From early on in your studies, you’ll start to recognise the importance of respecting the rule of law, along with the responsibilities and ethics of legal practice.

You’ll also have the opportunity to choose from optional units that focus on topics such as forensic advocacy, family law, human rights law, native title law and policy, and law and technology. These optional units enable you to tailor your degree to suit your interests.

With a Bachelor of Commerce as your second degree, you’ll gain business knowledge and practical skills specific to your chosen major. This may help you if you want to work in commercial law, employment law, corporate governance, on business policies, or as a manager or director.

The first three years of this course are delivered in semesters at Curtin Perth, while the fourth year, plus one trimester, is delivered at Curtin Law School in Perth city. If you choose to study full time, you can graduate with two degrees in just four-and-a-half years.

While studying in Perth city, you can gain practical experience by undertaking simulated proceedings in our high-tech moot court and working on real cases at the John Curtin Law Clinic. You’ll greatly benefit from the relationships you form with academics, practising solicitors and barristers based at Curtin Law School, as well as the proximity of the Supreme Court, the District Court and the Federal Court.
